Magpie cache needs looking at

Description

The magpie RSS reader caches feeds in the wp_options table for a period of 1 hour, currently. This bloats the options table pretty severely if somebody uses a lot of RSS feeds, and leaves RSS feed caches lying around if somebody ceases to use them anymore.

This needs some work done on it to clean up old or unused feeds after some period of time.

Suggestion: It would be nice if this used the object caching stuff instead. Problem with this notion is that the object cache doesn't actually cache anything anywhere persistent by default, so perhaps it could use the object cache if there is some kind of actual persistent caching plugin hooked to it.

Suggestion 2: Get rid of Magpie. Really. Switch to SimplePie? or some other feedreader that a) works properly and b) is still being actively developed/maintained.
